make a whole-wheat all-butter pie crust then line a pie plate with it and flute the crust edges.
STEP 1
bake the crust until golden brown and flaky! The best!
STEP 2
tapioca is the ideal thickener for this pie. Look for Instant Tapioca and grind it into a fine powder using a spice grinder.
STEP 3
this is how fine the tapioca should be ground.
STEP 4
cook half of the fresh blueberries into a "jam" then combine with remaining blueberries, tapioca, and shredded apple which adds sweetness, tartness, and pectin to help naturally thicken the filling.
STEP 5
mix everything together until combined.
STEP 6
add filling to pre-baked pie crust.
STEP 7
pinch the sweet oat & nut topping evenly over the crust. This is the only component that contains added sugar—just 1/3 cup added sugar in this entire pie!
STEP 8
bake until golden brown!
STEP 9
let it cool, then serve yourself a fat slice and top it with a scoop of VB ice cream!
